something "new" followed us home

[classicguywi]

Just a sneak peek at what is to come in our kitchen "retro"-fit

YAY A 30" Flare

These are always fun and like your recent KA DW addition, there are all kinds of parts out there to make and keep these working.

 

[classicguywi]

The Flair has hade it safely home, it has a few minor issues that need to be addressed like needing the right rear burner reattached to the slide out and in dire need of a good cleaning.

Beautiful!! Hope you have many years of great cooking on your Flair!

Hey Mike,

Greetings from Wausau!  Did you find the Flair here in WI?  If so, where, if I may ask?

 

[classicguywi]

Polkanut,

I did indeed find it here in WI, It was on craigslist in Shorewood.... There was another listed in Fond Du Lac with the base cabnet

Also yes I know the picture loaded sideways I will be posting more pictures tonight and this time the facing the right .

Got around to doing some minor testing on the Flair and getting some more pictures, so far the clock is funky. I worked for a few times around with the second hand and then it stopped. The lights work as the pic shows and the front right indicator stays lit even with the switch off...

 

[classicguywi]

missing the left rear burner, I have it, but it needs to be installed

 

[classicguywi]

Seams to be all there in the oven, including many boil overs.... in need of a cleaning

Wow

What a nice find, enjoy

 

[philr]

Nice! It's a 1961 RCDB-630-1.

 

[polkanut]

Nice find.  Good luck getting it fully functional once again.

Quick update

Hello all,

Thanks for the comments, I have been getting it clean... so far the best thing that I have found was a little steam cleaner, however there is some things that are still stuck on and not coming off. Anyone have some thoughts on getting it off ?

Mike

 

[laundromat]

Get some Spray_None.Works great on chrome,porcelain and stainless steel.Not good on decals or wasted on letters.

 

[laundromat]

Spray Nine not none.Sorry

 

[philr]

And just be careful not to use any strong cleaners on the anodized aluminum trim.

Here's a Canadian Flair wall oven which looks like it has been damaged by oven cleaner.
